[quote=Anonymous]OP I've also gotten a couple of those phone calls and get it. My advice to you is to work a bit on trying to let go. It's hard but people can't be held to crazy expectations and you'll be happier when you can let it go a bit. I still have just visceral panic if I miss two calls in a row from a family member but I have worked really hard to try to keep that to myself. Feel it, acknowledge it, let it go.

As for your DH, he goes out a few times a year and gets too drunk. And in your entire relationship he's never had a DUI or alcohol related incident. You say these incidents happened shortly after college which means they happened 20 years ago. That IS ancient history. The kind of drinker I was when I was 22-25 has virtually nothing in common with the me of today (at 31 so not even as far removed!).

He waited until he was REALLY off the hook, in another city and unable to do anything even if you needed him to and let loose and then slept in until 10:15. You have to understand this is a little cray. My DH is kind of similar, has a few happy hours a year he goes too hard at. Had one last weekend and came home at 1am and spent the morning puking and wasn't out of bed until 2am! I laughed at him and got him a breakfast sandwich because as another PP put it, 99% of the time he's a great and reliable father and husband.

Your DH checked in with you before crashing and called you when he woke up. And he didn't wake up at 2 in the afternoon. I think you need to take a chill pill on this one. [/quote]
